The MechanoCulture product group allows
researchers to culture cells in a mechanically active
environment. Configurations of these culture systems support
single or parallel tests using a variety of flexible substrates and
scaffolds. On-board controllers enable PC-independent
execution of user-defined motion protocols.
All MechanoCulture systems can be operated in an incubator
environment. All cell-contacting
components are made from autoclavable
materials.
The MechanoCulture FX2 can uniaxially stretch 24
wells while capturing images on an inverted microscope. The
sterile single-use silicone plates have a thin transparent
membrane that has similar optical properties to a glass
coverslip.
MechanoCulture FX
The MechanoCulture FX2 can be
programmed to run constant velocity or sinusoidal
stretch patterns. Magnitudes, frequencies, rest
periods, and cycle counts can all be specified in
the software application and programmed to the
device.
Conformance to 96 well plate geometry means that the FX can be used with any inverted
microscope and can be loaded using standard fluid
handling equipment.
All components in contact
with the culture can be autoclaved
and the device can be operated
inside an incubator environment.
